A Family House that changes its face
Antonio and Gianna of the "Sant'Antonio" Family Home in Rimini, reconfirm their YES to those in need of a family every day. Now they want to renovate the rooms on the ground floor of their house to create a mini-apartment that will house families or people in need who have no place to stay. The total cost is €26,000. Support the project to enable them to continue to open up to the most fragile.
Antonio and Gianna have been a Family House of the Pope John XXIII Community for more than 30 years: they are husband and wife, parents, friends, grandparents, landmarks for the area in which they live and for the many people they have welcomed. Different people, each with their own story, to whom Antonio and Gianna have been there for as each one needed, living together as a true family amid trust and affection.
Their home has always been a safe place for those seeking shelter and a fixed point from which to begin again. Although they feel the weight of advancing age and many years of Family Home on their shoulders, Antonio and Gianna, despite the difficulties, despite Gianna's disability, have always reconfirmed their choice of welcoming and sharing life. A choice that requires tenderness and caring, patience and availability.
Now many of the children are grown up, many of the people welcomed have fortunately found their way, and the house is no longer as crowded as before but remains a place to be cherished and preserved, even for those who will animate, in the future, that place.
The rooms on the ground floor, which until recently had another destination, have now been freed up and can be renovated so that they can be transformed into a mini apartment that will be able to accommodate family units or people in difficulty who do not have a place to stay, to whom Antonio and Gianna will be able to ensure closeness, support.
The renovation and expansion work on the house now amounts to €26,000. Thanks to the help of many supporters, since the project was launched, nearly €17,000 has been raised. The work has begun and Antonio and Gianna expect to finish it in early 2025; however, some unforeseen issues have arisen during the course of the work: the building in which they live is very beautiful and large but, like all old structures, major interventions such as these give rise to maintenance and additional works. In addition, material estimates and overhead costs rose. That is why Antonio and Gianna still need you to raise the last 10,000€ that is missing.
